Presentation Abstract

Pixels, Portfolios, & Senior Success: Creating the Pocket E-Portfolio is a hands’ on workshop for those interested in incorporating the use of technology training and portfolio development to better assist college seniors in the preparation for post-university life for career development, graduate school application, and reflection on their emerging roles as global citizens.

Joining the emerging portfolio process trends in higher education, you will learn how the college senior’s produce their Pocket E-Portfolio, designed and developed through the technology training provided by the Presentation Technology Center.


The Pocket E-Portfolio allows the student to record their work on digital media and maintain their own portfolio files on CD. Based on the RACCE College Portfolio Process developed by Dr. Joan E. Leichter Dominick, and the E-portfolio Training Process by M. Leigh Funk, Presentation Technology Department Trainers, Ben Cope and Jennifer Leifheit have designed E-Portfolio Templates, a training schedule for InDesign, Photoshop, and Adobe Acrobat, which will enable the College Seniors to produce E-Portfolios during the semester.

This innovative academic collaboration provides college seniors with marketable technology training, a showcase E-Portfolio for their post-university life, and a commitment to weave technology to better understand and share their learning story with career stakeholders, and to better prepare for their role as productive global citizenship in the 21st Century.
